Availability: In Stock
Barnes VOR-TX 243 Win ammunition pairs precision factory loading with the ballistic performance of the proven TTSX bullet—a solid copper, lead-free round designed for hunters who demand accuracy and reliable terminal performance. Loaded at 80 grains with a polymer tip and spitzer profile, these rounds are engineered for the .243 Winchester, a caliber beloved by varmint hunters and those working with lighter-recoiling precision rifles. The 20-round box gives you a practical hunting or range pack that fits easily into a pack or truck bed.
The TTSX (Tipped TSX) bullet is Barnes's answer to hunters seeking lead-free ammunition without compromise. The polymer tip initiates consistent expansion on impact while the solid copper construction ensures the weight retention needed for pass-through penetration and deep energy transfer. Unlike traditional soft-point or hollow-point designs, the TTSX's four-petaled expansion geometry is engineered to create a large wound channel while maintaining structural integrity through heavy bone. The bullet's grooved shank design works to minimize pressure and improve accuracy across a wider range of rifle platforms.
VOR-TX represents Barnes's commitment to factory-loaded precision. Every round receives the same attention to detail and consistency you'd expect from a handloaded cartridge—tight tolerances, quality primers, and premium powders that pair with the TTSX's ballistic profile. This is ammunition built for hunters who understand that shot placement and bullet performance are inseparable; you're getting a tool matched to a bullet design that has earned respect in the field over decades of use.

Yes. The TTSX bullet is constructed entirely from solid copper with no lead core, making VOR-TX compliant with lead-free ammunition regulations in California and other jurisdictions with similar requirements.
The TTSX expands into four copper petals upon impact, creating a large wound channel while retaining weight for deep penetration. This design is intended to provide reliable, rapid terminal performance on game.
The .243 Winchester is a versatile cartridge that handles a range of bullet weights. The 80-grain TTSX is well-suited to the cartridge's pressure and velocity envelope. Confirm compatibility with your specific rifle's manual if you're uncertain, and always consult load data when developing handloads.
Each box contains 20 rounds of factory-loaded Barnes VOR-TX ammunition ready to use.
